Life In Morocco,

There are exquisite gardens with high

in California and Florida, and have seen
them sell here at three cents dozen, The
markets are good FISH being abundant.
Fine large roe shad bring from fifteen to
twenty cents each; sole the same; Spanish
mackerel from ten to twelve cents each:
small fish five cents O pound: meat from
five to nine cents; capons twenty-five cents

The Girl and the GirdIe.

The girdle has grown to be q monstrous
fad with the girls. This morning, in an
elevated car, found myself beside an ac-
quaintance who has some pretense to
social position. Her slim figure was en-
circled by huge silver girdle, from one
side of which dangled forty-six little
chains. At the end of every chain was o
trinket. We fell to talking about them
and l looked them over, while she chatted
about the history Of every one. There
were fourteen Roman coins, latch key,
penhOlder case, vinaigrette, skating medal,
button hook, glove buttoner, silver adj
dress tablet, tiny silver bOnbon box, a
corkscrew, miniature cimeter, a chate-
laine watch, small oXidized iron parasol
which when opened became fan, a bullet
with which she had killed bear on her
brothers. ranch, card case, a lock of hair
in lOcket, two miniatures-One of Her.
bert Kelley with u dropping mustache and
the other of Osmond Tearle with his eyes
turned heayenward--a chain purse, a
compass, a small paper cutter, a dozen odd
trinkets of every conceivable shape, and a
double barreled dog whistle.

asked.
Everywhere, said she, with shrug
"Don't you find them troublesome?'
"Oh, no, they're vastly useful"

''They supply subjects of conversation

nInckinaw T,raid Ua,s.

''New Workers no longer wear Macl1inaw
straw hats. 1t is simply because there is
sery little genuine Mackinaw braid used
COW by the manufacturers, said prom
:nent importer of straw braids the other
day to reporter,
ssThe average buyer does not know the
difference between the genuine and the
Japan Mackinaw, which is lighter and
much cheaper article" he continued.
ssThe genuine Mackinaw is braid made
from wheat straw grown and plated by
the Indians along the Straits of Mackinaw.
This braid is exceedingly tough and dur
able, having beautiful gloss not pos
sessed by other braids. When made into
machine sewed hats it often proves to be
too heavy for ready sale. The hand
sewed goods, however, are much lighter
and pleasanter to wear, and bring high
prices. They are manufactured chiefly in
Baltimore, where the majority of skilled
operators in this line are TO be found.
These persons go to Baltimore from their
homes in the New England states in the
fall, when the straw season begins, re-
turning in the summer.
"The japanese braid is lighter in tex
ture but rather lusterless, and has forced
the genuine Mackinaw out Of the market
It is now the most popular braid mapH.

Methods of the "HosoitaI Reat. 80

The "hospital beat' is an individual we
have to be on the constant lookout for.
His business is to impose himself on the
hospitals Of the different cities, and thus
get boarded and lodged free. The regular
beat has no ailment except chronic lazi,
ness. We had good case the other day.
A fellow came IN all dirty Il mean un-
washedl and said he was suffering from q
fearful pain in the side, which prevented
him from breathing; and, besides, he had
a headache AS the fellows tramping
had left him looking debilitated, and no
examination of him could be made till he
had been washed, he was sent TO the City
hospital, on the supposition that he had
pneumonia. When he came to be stripped
for the inevitable bath, $1S7 were found
in his clothes. That ended him, and he
was fired. r- .
Then there is a class of those who Get
into the hospital really suffering, but do
their utmost to stay there. Take a man
who goes in because of an ulcer on his
leg. Under the tonics, good food and clean
beds he improves, the ulcer gets smaller,
and finally closes: Then, if he is worth
less, as is often the case, he attempts to
prolong his stay in his free quarters. So
he deliberately tears the ulcer open again.
] have seen such fellows get sand and rub
it over the wound till they had opened it
again. These geniuses are also promptly
bounced. But the crop is always Just
about as large. For three good meals and
nice place to sleep, all free, some buns
will do anything-almost main them
selves, believe. The beats are the most
common in the latter part of September,
in October, and in the fore part of Noyem.
Der The approaching cold drives them
in, and they then get to seeking shelter
for the winter.-Dispensary Physician In

Recipes That Are Dangerous.

This is cheap enough, but to many the
SIS would be as difficult to get as fortune.
There are no names or explanations, but
the inference is that one is to make the
fortune by buying lot of recipes, making
the articles and selling them at large
profit. A long list Of recipes is given, and
we refer to the matter to caution against
buying the recipes to make this and that
that are hawked about. They are gener-
ally useless, and at times dangerous.
Among those in this list is "Tooth Wash,
to Remove BlacTness.'' This consists of
about one-fourth muriatic acid, and if used
well will remove the blackness-and the
teeth also. Another, 'sTo Remove or De-
stroy HAIR" consists largely of sulphuret
Of arsenic, a most violent poison, and
dangerous to apply to the skin, as it may
produce fearful sores. Don't buy recipes

Melodious Mexican Bells.

In the large tower of Morella hangs the
monster bell, which is rarely sounded,
but there are many others of moderate
size which are continually Ginning. All
these bells, and indeed nearly all the bells
in the republic, are remarkable for sweet
ness and softness of tone. 1t is very
rarely that one hears harsh bell. They
are exceedingly melodious and pleasing.
1t is sometimes explained that this is due
to the mixture Of silver in the bell metal,
and that the new bells are cast from old
metal. I believe that the chief reason
why the Mexican bells are so much more
musical than ours is that the Mexican
bells are artistically made, shaped with
reference to tone, thin at the edge, each
one work of art intelligently Blanipu-
lated, not mechanically cast without refer
ence to the sound it shall produce. The
great bells are struck with clapper, and
not swung There would be much less
objection to the use of church bells in the
United States-the harsh and barbarous
jangle which shocks the Sunday Stiffness
if our bells had any of the musical quality
Of the Mexican. -Harper's Magazine.

A Safeguard Against fnsects.

Many people do not know how easily
they can protect themselves and their
children against the bites of gnats and
other insects, Weak carbolic acid sponged
on the skin and hair, and in some cases
the clothing, will drive away the whole
tribe. A great many children and not O
few adults are tormented throughout the
whole summer by minute enemies. Wo
know persons who are afraid of picnics
and even their own gardens on this &C
count. Clothing is an imperfect protec-
ton, for we have seen child whose foot
and ankle had been stung through the
stocking so seriously that for days she
could not wear o leather shoe. All this
can be averted according to our expe-
rience, and that, we believe, of many
others, by carbolic acid judiciously used.
The safest plan is to keep saturated So
luton of the acid. The solution cannot
contain more than or per cent, ana &c
may be added to water until the latter
smells strong. This may readily, end
with perfect safety, be applied with q
sponge. We have no doubt that horses
and cattle could be protected in the same
way from the flies, which sometimes
nearly madde1 them, and it even seems
possible That terrible scourge, the African
tsetse fly, might be kept off in the same
manner.-London Tancat.

sno was Married FOR Keeps.

The skipper Of o canal boat On the Illinois
and Michigan canal recently decided, after
mature elaboration and careful considera-
ton, to marry his cook, a right smart,
energetic and not wholly bad looking
Celt, who had been tried and faithful
servant for him for quite number of his
perilous trips on the storm dashed canal.
So he spoke to her about the matter one
day, and after securing her coy consent
he ordered the boat tied up at the wharf
Of Joliet, and being q practical skipper,
skipped up the street efter parson, The
nuptiaI knot was soon tied, the parson
beaten down to $3.50 for his fee, and then
the canal boatman said:
"Well, Melindy, we are married fur
keeps now. We arc hitehed fur life, and
must pull together. I'm q little short
handed today, and as that lead mule has
got saddle gals on his back you jist take
the towpath and lead him down to Lock-
port, and I'll steer and kinder ruminate
on some plan to give you work on the
boat without going ashore In mud. I've
got powerful sight more respect for you
now that you're my wife, Melindy. ~

How He Got Ills Title.

Thomas NJ. Griffiths, the well known
civil engineer and builder of suspension
bridges, has had pretty extensive expert
encc in dealing with people all over the
country. In talking with him the other
day he made humorous reference to the
fashion which prevails in the south and
southwest of comforting such titles as
honorable, general, colonel or judge upon
tho most slender claims. He was at ono
time employed in building suspension
bridge at Waco, Texas. One day he
CHANGED to cross the public square with q
soldiers canteen slung under his arm
filled with water. He was Immediately
addressed by the bystanders with the APP
pellation of general, and the title stuck to
him during all his remaining stay in
Texas. 81 got my title" remarked Mr..
Griffiths, "easier than any man 1 ever

One night last winter at about two in

some hundreds of louis, and he felt a
slight headache.

the Madeleine. Suddenly the duke stun
bled against an object which he had struck
with the point of his boot; it was a large
crust of bread all soiled with mud.
Then, to his establishment, NJ. de Saul

the piece of bread, wipe it carefully with
his handkerchief embroidered with his
armorial bearings, and place it ON one of

At a Watering Place.

Now, there are many curious and re-
markable phases of life at fashionable
watering place which the eldest habitue is
quite at loss to account for or explain.
Society, for wonder, relaxes its rigidity
and seems to thaw out under the influ-
ence of warm weather and prolonged sun
shine Offenses against the laws of ETH
quette arc openly committed and winked
at, and more than that, the great gulf
that separates the goats and the sheep,
the clean and the unclean, imperceptibly
closes up, and makes common hunting
ground. Strange things are done, strange
intimacies contracted, strange people
met, and strange existence led-as diff
ferent from the prim formality of winter
as IL it were in another world.-Boston

What Are Black Headed Pins?

Sitting alongside lady in the elevated
train the other day she had occasion to
adjust portion of her dress which was
fastened with black pin, when the head
broke in fragments and disclosed the fact
that it was some kind of composition
fastened on q broken needle. Curiosity
led me to make some inquiries, and
found that nearly all the black headed pins
in the market are made from needles
which are broken in the factories in test
ing the eyes. Amy one who has handled
the black headed pins has probably noticed
their remarkable sharpness as compared
with the ordinary white pins sold in the
market. This is the explanation that
they are old needles.--New York Tribune.
